Omni Analytics Reviews & Product Details

Most companies need a SQL-based dashboarding tool to dig into and benchmark business data and source-of-truth user data - Omni has taken a fresh approach to building for that use case and created something world-class. While knowing SQL always helps, Omni is making is possible for end users to create beautiful charts and dashboards without writing queries as well.

I love their visualization flexibility as well as their feature around scheduling delivery of dashboards. It makes it really easy to disseminate data throughout the org. Their support and sales teams are fantastic and I am also quite taken aback by their ability to deliver new feature and functionality at a rapid pace. Looking forward to using this tool for years to come. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like any SQL-based BI tool, it takes a technical mindset to wrap your head around it at first, but when it clicks it's really slick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a non-technical person who is trying to understand how our customers are leveraging and getting value out of our product, I am always looking for ways to get my hands on data. The data will empower me to understand what happened so I can adjust or predict what will happen so I can better control the outcome. Omni is the first data tool I've used that allows me more freely (as a non-technical person) to do this. I don't have to rely on an engineer to do it for me. In a startup that is moving fast, this is imperative.

Omni has also offered fantastic customer support, the team is smart and very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thus far there isn't anything I dislike, but only things I would like to see in the system. For example, better ways to see Period over Period performance (so I can see a percentage change), customizable notifications based on performance thresholds would make Omni a very strong tool for GTM folks looking to scale their performance.

One of Omni's best features is the ease of updating your schema whenever it changes. In other BI tools, this requires several steps in several places that are multiplied by the number of schema changes; with Omni you just click refresh. Omni's customer success team is also top notch and is incredibly helpful with any question you throw at them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since Omni is a very new tool, there are still some bugs that pop up more often than in other BI tools. There are also some features that are still under development or missing that would be helpful, such as more organization of saved reports/dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Omni is an incredibly full featured BI solution at a very reasonable cost. The platform offers several features important to us that are unique to Omni:

- ongoing warehouse sync: Omni can recheck your warehouse and inform you of modeling that has broken due to warehouse changes, providing helpful error messages to help guide you to corrections

- attractive UI layer: Omni's visual design (in our opinion) is superior to competitors

- service: Omni offers a truly incredible level of personal service where competitors seemingly offer little to none. Their team is constantly available in real time for anything from troubleshooting tricky issues to just helping you make your dashboards look better. If you are not already a BI expert, this is in invaluable resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Omni is relatively newer and as such does not offer total feature parity with competitors who have been around longer. This probably matters to you more when considering what you might lose when switching, but if you are starting from scratch you can build your workflows around their feature set and won't miss a beat.

The schema modelling and developer interface make it so easy to surface lots of data, really quickly, that people in the business have never seen before. It has already generated a few 'wow' moments.

The UI is really nice and intuitive. They have leaned into the fact that Excel is the grandparent of all BI tools and everyone understands it. They've done this in both in the appearance of the UI and in features like custom calculations that support lots of standard Excel syntax and are translated into SQL run on the underlying data warehouse.

They are super quick to respond to queries and the customer support is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly not very much. The standard set of available visualisations are currently a bit limited but they are very early in their development and there is an escape hatch to use the underlying library to draw them.

A couple of teething problems to be expected with such a new tech product but the speed of customer support is very helpful with these. Often fixing bugs or responding to small feature requests in hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to start using, for both those familiar and not familiar with SQL. Great-looking dashboards, which is important for end-user adoption. Hits the right balance between the rigour of a semantic layer and the flexibility of "non-SQL" BI tools. Amazing quality of support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The semantic layer is still in the early days, and takes a bit of time to get used to for someone used to the Looker semantic layer. That being said, Omni are quickly building on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SQL Editor for Custom measures, duckDB smart cache, well thought out approach to semantic layer and source control. Easy to integrate with most modern dbs. Great support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quite a new tool so doesn't have feature parity with some of the more established tooling - although the pace of product releases is very promising. Ultimately we decided to keep our tech-stack stable, but everyone that was part of the POC agreed although Omni was a great tool and one that we may look to come back to in the future.

BI tools typically either have a sematic layer, which makes them great for data governance but slow to work with, or connect directly to the data which makes them fast but a nightmare for data governence. Omni has a semantic layer, but also has features to perform quick ad hoc analysis when needed. Omni takes the best of Looker and fixes many of the known pain points.

Lacks some features of more developed tools such as intergation with git. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall the experience of using Omni is pretty straight forward from anyone coming from a Tableau/PowerBI type of background and for new users, it's relatively approachable as well.

The pricing model is well suited to small teams/companies without nickel & diming for every user or feature, and is much better value for money compared to other larger enterprise BI solutions with heavy implementations and significant cost.

The entire omni team from sales/BD through success and leadership have been great in terms of getting our data sources integrated, helping us learn the tool, and partnership overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whereas they are early stage, there are a few UI/UX quirks but the team is open to feedback on the product and none of these are big roadblocks or problems, and a little support from success will get us where we want to be Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a business user, it probably took me an hour to get used to the "Omni way" and start churning valuable insights for our business!

I used many BI tools in the past (the main one being Looker) and I was never sold into the wave of the "Data Visualisation" solution. Those expect you to know what the result of your analysis should look like before you even start. What I loved about Looker was that it was all about exploring to find valuable nuggets in your data, and if you found something good you saved it, you used it and you shared it.

So when we started looking for our Analytics solution, Omni was a natural choice. Omni goes a step further making these early analysis even easier in my opinion, as one doesn't need to wait for metrics to be available in a central model to start exploring data. It's super easy to create your own metrics or derive metrics from existing ones and start building super powerful insights quickly. If what I build's good, we just promote the new metrics into the model so they can be reused everywhere by all users. The combination of the workbook and modelled BI approach is very powerful.

The other thing that's most enjoyable about working with Omni is the team. They hit all the marks that you'd expect from a top vendor! Super responsive support, very friendly and helpful advices, new & super valuable features being released almost daily... it's a pleasure to see the speed at which the product is evolving.

It already a great solution, it's getting better everyday and you're supported by one of the most knowledgeable team there is - it is absolutely the best value-for-money one can find in the BI Market right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a young company some features are obviously missing but they tend to be nice to have and everytime I need something it tends to be released within a week or two of me asking! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
